  1. Hi, my name is Leslie Williams.
  2. My presentation is on Tinker vs de Montes Independent Community
  3. School 1969.
  4. I chose this topic because I feel like it gives
  5. us a case that relates to a lot of information
  6. I've learned in this class um cases today are still
  7. using this case as a reference regarding the rights of
  8. students to start this presentation.
  9. I thought was best to go over some key terms.
  10. I don't know if you're able to see them there
  11. on the screen and I had them all written out
  12. the terms that I have listed our school or educational
  13. law, constitutions, statutes, case law and presidents, the term that
  14. really stood out to me for this presentation as presidents
  15. because I felt like this case has been a groundwork
  16. for future decisions.
  17. I was able to get this information for Module one.
  18. If anybody's interested to go back and check into it.
  19. This is a Youtube video that I found.
  20. It really goes into detail about the case and gives
  21. good information, goes over the process of how it was
  22. eventually ruled on by the Supreme Court.
  23. It's about five minutes long.
  24. This case is about students in Iowa who were protesting
  25. the Vietnam war by wearing black armbands.
  26. They were suspended for wearing their arm bands.
  27. And eventually the case was settled by the Supreme Court
  28. in favor of the students now to go over the
  29. courts. Um There's district courts and circuit courts that are
  30. the first level of appeal.
  31. Supreme Court of the United States is the final level
  32. of appeal in the federal system In the country.
  33. There are 94 district courts known as trial courts and
  34. 13 circuit courts.
  35. There's only one supreme court.
  36. There are state courts.
  37. The Florida Courts of Appeal is divided into five districts.
  38. They are located in Tallahassee, Lakeland, Miami, West, Palm Beach
  39. and Daytona Speech.
  40. Today. There is actually a case very similar to the
  41. Tinker case.
  42. Um that is being heard.
  43. It involves three students at Liberty High School who decided
  44. to wear black armband to protest the war in Afghanistan.
  45. The difference between the two cases, this case is protesting
  46. the war of Afghanistan and the Tinker case.
  47. They're protesting the war in Vietnam.
  48. In this case, they were told they talk to their
  49. principal prior to them wearing the arm bands and he
  50. told them it was not a good idea and the
  51. school created a policy that would prohibit the students from
  52. wearing their arm bands.
  53. The students did go to school with armbands and were
  54. suspended. Um the students felt the school had violated their
  55. constitutional rights and the lawsuit claimed that the um too
  56. silent protesters protected under the First Amendment is free speech.
  57. The court judge stated that the suspension did not violate
  58. the First Amendment and the state and the principal concerns
  59. of the act could disrupt others from learning was reasonable.
  60. The students appealed to the District Court of Appeals.
  61. They agreed with the court ruling, um which ruled that
  62. they could stop from the students from wearing armbands as
  63. a form of protest.
  64. Um students have appealed the district court decision to florida
  65. Supreme Court and now it is ready to hear both
  66. sides and now moving back to Supreme Court in the
  67. United States.
  68. It is the highest court in the federal System of
  69. the United States.
  70. According to federal state, the courts consist of Chief Justice
  71. of the United States and eight Associate Justices.
  72. There's nine in total, all of them are appointed by
  73. the president and confirmed by the Senate.
  74. Once they're appointed, they have a lifetime tenure unless they
  75. resign or retire, tire or removed from office.
  76. The Tinker versus des Mones is known to be the
  77. U. S.
  78. Supreme Court landmark case.
  79. First loan is known to be one.
  80. Okay, This leads us to go with the changes in
  81. the purpose of the school.
  82. Over time I got this information for Module seven.
  83. Over the years, the roles of schools have changed going
  84. back to 1960.
  85. The purpose of the school was to produce a learning
  86. society and not just to have a focus on the
  87. literary society.
  88. The focus was on civil right act to promote equal
  89. opportunity for every student Moving to 2010, the purpose of
  90. the school has shifted to take on a role of
  91. preparing students for college, post high school in training for
  92. a career.
  93. I feel the topic has related to the caught to
  94. the case because it shows how the school's purpose of
  95. the school is always evolving.
  96. Different factors play into the purpose of the school.
  97. It also plays a point and what the school involves
  98. itself in when it comes to the rights of students
  99. and the rights of the schools.
  100. And I think to have a better understanding as the
  101. changes of school is good to know the history of
  102. the school and history of education.
  103. This is comparing the role of the school from then
  104. to now.
  105. In 16 oh 7 to 70 75 colonial period laid
  106. the Foundation for public support of education and local control
  107. of the schools in 1975 to 18 20.
  108. Early national period creation of the U.
  109. S. Constitution which determined the role and influence of the
  110. school. The constitution lays the framework for education legislation, removed
  111. control from education from the federal government and gave it
  112. to the state.
  113. This explains why the case that is so similar to
  114. the Tinker case that's being held today, is being held
  115. at the florida Supreme Court and not the Federal Supreme
  116. Court is now being determined by the states.
  117. This explains how the cases are um ruled today.
  118. The case is similar to the tinker case will be
  119. heard from the florida Supreme Court and this is a
  120. summary of how the changes have occurred over time.
  121. This slide just goes over some great information regarding the
  122. um first florida First District Court of Appeal.
  123. It's one D C.
  124. Aa dot org.
  125. I thought it just provided great information where you can
  126. go to get information about freedom.
  127. Free speech expression in the First Amendment.
  128. In conclusion, the issues in this case are similar to
  129. issues the school systems are still dealing with today.
  130. It's been interesting to learn about the legal system, the
  131. roles of the schools and the purpose of the school
  132. system, And over the years how things have changed to
  133. learn about the history of education.
  134. I feel like Tinker vs des Mones Independent Community School
  135. 1969 was a great topic for my presentation.
  136. I was able to find a lot of information to
  137. relate what I have learned from this class.
